(Redirected from Bishop of Lacedonia)
The Italian Catholic diocese of Lacedonia, in Campania, existed until 1986. It was a suffragan of the archdiocese of Benevento.[1][2]
History
The bishopric of Lacedonia, seated in Lacedonia Cathedral, dated from the eleventh century. The first known bishop is Desiderius, mentioned in 1082, but he is known to have had predecessors. Lacedonia suffered much from earthquakes, especially in 1694 and 1702. The diocese was earlier a suffragan of the archdiocese of Conza and Campagna.[3] Other bishops were:
- Fra Guglielmo Neritono (1392)
- Antonio Dura (1506)
- Gianfrancesco Carducciof (1564)
- the mathematician Marco Pedacca 1584
- Giacomo Candido (1606)
- Giacomo Giordano (1651), who built the episcopal palace and planned a new cathedral
- Benedetto Bartolo, who was seized by the brigands and later redeemed by the Marquess of Carpi
- Morea (1684), who suppressed certain festivities of pagan origin celebrated on the vigil of Epiphany
- Francesco Ubaldo Romanzi (1798), under whom the Diocese of Lacedonia was increased by union with the diocese of Trevico, a neighbouring diocese subject to the Metropolitan of Benevento, and which dated at least from the tenth century, when a Bishop Benedetto is mentioned (964)
- Diomede Falconio (1892)
